Bargain basement purchase who has shown precious little in four starts over a wide range of trips. Out of his depth again on debut for new yard.

Olaced on two occasions when last seen at the track in October and November 2016. Modest 76-rated handicapper but should be able to cope with some of this opposition.

Beaten a total of 70L in three starts over C&D in the last three months. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

5/4
Solid and consistent between January and April last year in a number of promising starts here without winning. Without a win here in seven starts and looks booked for a place here.
Has failed to beat anything home in three career starts including a 71L defeat last time out. May find this a tough assignment.

Last of seven in a Wexford bumper on racecourse debut back in June last year beaten 52L. Unlikely to play a part in the finish here.

Beaten 194L in a Naas bumper in November before a 22L and 23L defeats here over 7f and C&D last month. May struggle on these terms.

Lightly raced filly when in the care of Patrick Downey, well beaten on both occasions but worth a market check on stable debut.
Vale Of York filly out of a Grand Slam mare related to multiple Flat winners Air Of York, Akavit and Packing Genius. Market possibly best guide to chances.

Forecasts

Liberatio (11/10), Sir Danilo (5/4), Wedding Photo (15/8), Tomwontlisten (7/1), Nisior Donn (12/1), Goodbye Oonagh (33/1), Diamond Eagle (33/1), Hawthorn Echo (66/1), Shabrasupmonaghan (66/1), Where's My Warrior (100/1)

Verdict

Sir Danilo likes to get on with things from the front but will face difficulty getting to the lead from stall 10 with Where's My Warrior and Hawthorn Echo possibly disputing the early lead. The Mick Halford-trained LIBERATIO has decent form at the track and can pounce late under jockey-Pat Smullen who should have the gelding in a good position during the race. Wedding Photo and Nisior Donn can battle for the remaining place.
